The present estimate of the distance to the Coma cluster on the basis of the B-band Tully-Fisher (T-F) relation has conducted photographic surface photometry on all galaxies for which H I line width data in a circle of 4-deg radius centered on the Coma cluster. A detailed estimate is made of the cluster population incompleteness bias for the distance estimation. While the correction for sample incompleteness, in conjunction with the T-F relation, increases the distance modulus, the result cannot be as large as the value indicated by Kraan-Kortweg et al. (1988). 65 refs.
